It is if you are able to buy in bulk. If not it is the same price or more depending on what you are feeding.

No I want info on raw feeders too! That's a HUGE trend right now, especially after the pet food recall last year. Not that you're being "trendy" per se, but I want to talk about biologically appropriate foods too.

For myself with my schedule/ bank roll at the moment I can't afford to do raw whole hog (yuk yuk yuk

) but Poe and Lolly LOVE when I bring home meat for them. Organ meat has been a favorite and since it just became beef season here again I can get plenty (the price range from the plant is $1-2 an organ for hearts, livers, discarded bones/feet) We also had a lot fo fun handing Poe a whole broiler and letting her tear into it.

Oma's Raw looks great....And pricing isn't bad if you have a distributor around you.
I liked the idea...tried it with my dogs, my bordeaux (she's 8 and always on kibble) threw it up every time. Fenice only would eat it if its chicken and Eragon eats deck...so he doesn't really care whats in his bowl...its eaten before tasted and he moves on to the next bowl...and so on till all that left is...DECK!!! Damn boys...always up to no good

I feed all kindsa stuff pasta rounds of the house and mix it with different meats and chicken

basically the pasta helps keep weight on them i find and the rounds of the house too

i would mix it with a cheap dry food just to give the dogs some roughage as i find that too much raw can bind them up a little

I love that you consider cheap kibble roughage! Quite a fair definition for most of the low grade stuff, now that I think about it

Poe eats ANYTHING. Cups, firewood, 6 packs of paper towels, my little dog Lolly, anything

She might literally eat me out of house and home one of these days!

If you are feeding raw and your dogs gets bound up, you are feeding too much bone, give more meaty cuts, or more organ meat.

I spend about $130 for 200 lbs of meat, ranging from pigs tail, ground hamburg (not for human consumption) heart, liver, tripe, chicken backs, and necks. This feeds Jake and Juni real well for a month. Jake now wants to eat first thing in the morning. I get a cup of coffee and Jake gets breakfast (pleasant at 6 am!!

Nikki converted me to raw when I got Juni. Jake took several months to convert. I swear he never figured out how to chew anything other than kibble. Now he will plow through anything, including a whole chicken.
